The Miami Heat is down another man.
Forward Okaro White, who started four games at power forward, but hasn’t played since Nov. 6 at Golden State, will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a broken bone in his left foot, the Heat announced shortly before Wednesday’s home game against the Washington Wizards.
White (6-8, 215) was hurt in what the team described as a freak play during Tuesday’s practice. He has been ruled out indefinitely, a Heat spokesman said.
White, a second-year forward out Florida State, averaged 3.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 13.3 minutes and shooting 43.8 percent from the field in six games this season.
